No money shall be paid out of the treasury except on a warrant signed by the mayor and attested by the city clerk. No warrant shall be drawn upon the treasurer, nor shall any ordinance appropriating money be passed, unless there is an unexpended balance to the credit of the city in the fund in the treasury upon which such warrant is drawn, to meet such warrant, or a sufficient sum of unappropriated money in the fund in the treasury upon which such ordinance is drawn, to meet such ordinance. Every bill that contemplates the payment of money shall, upon its second reading, be referred to the treasurer, or the person acting as treasurer, for his endorsement, to the effect that a sufficient sum stands to the credit of the city, unappropriated, in the fund covered by such ordinance, to meet the requirements of such bill. The treasurer shall report to the board of aldermen, on or before the first day of July in each year, the amount of receipts and expenditures of the treasury, the amount of money on hand, and the amount of bonds falling due, if any, for the redemption of which provision must be made; also, the amount of interest to be paid during the next fiscal year. He shall also perform such other duties in the line of his office as may be required of him by ordinance. The report of the treasurer may be published if deemed necessary by the board of aldermen.
